Such a beautiful little story. I love storys built on simple and easily digestible plot setups, and this one is especially great because of the amazing character work we get, and we'll as a wonderful example and description of a large list of human emotions. There's also a wonderful commentary on a lot of subjects that I honestly didn't expect, yet loved. This story just simply felt warm, but also a little painful, like a hot drink in a mug slowly getting too hot then burning you. I truly loved it
